Demise of Premises; Possession

2.1 Demise of Premises; Term.

(a) Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant, and Tenant hires the Premises from Landlord, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, for a term of ten (10) Years, beginning on the Effective Date, unless sooner terminated as provided herein (the 'Term"). Tenant shall have the option of extending this Lease ("Renewal Option") for two (2) additional five (5) year Terms, under the same terms and conditions herein, provided Tenant is not currently in material breach of this Lease at the time of the exercise of the Renewal Option beyond any applicable cure period (each such period being referred to in this Lease as a "Renewal Term"). Each Renewal Option shall automatically be exercised without written notice to Landlord, except that Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease and any Renewal Option by providing written notice not less than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration date of the initial Term.

If Tenant does not reach Percentage Rent and pays Base Rent Only in all of the first three (3) years, then the Tenant in its sole discretion has the right to terminate the lease at the end of the third (31d) year, upon sixty (60) days written notice, given not sooner than the date upon which Tenant provides Landlord required Statement of Gross Sales (defined below) for the third (3rd) Lease year (and, further provided that Landlord be entitled to its audit rights for same, before such termination is effective).

2.2 Use of Premises.

(a) Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises for the purpose of operating an ice cream and confectionary shop along with incidental uses ("Tenant's Use"), substantially as set forth on the menu attached to this Lease as Exhibit F. Landlord further agrees that Tenant may add, delete and/or change its menu without the prior consent of the Landlord provided that Tenant complies with all local codes and ordinances, that such change does not materially change the character of the business as an "ice cream and confectionary shop," and that the Landlord has no existing agreements (at the time of the menu change) prohibiting such menu additions. Tenant may, but shall not be required to remain open seven (7) days per week. On days that the Tenant is open they must remain so for a minimum of 6 hours per open day. Landlord acknowledges that that the normal operation of Tenant's business will create certain cooking aromas; Tenant warrants and agrees that such cooking aromas will not unreasonably interfere with the quite enjoyment of the the Landlord, other lessees of Landlord and/or other adjacent land holders.

Landlord grants the Tenant the exclusive principal use of serving ice cream and confectionary products ("Limited Exclusive Use"), although incidental sales by other businesses is acceptable. Therefore, no other

future Tenant within the Heights at Eastwood can exceed 5% of their gross sales by serving substantially similar ice cream and confections.

Further, Landlord shall indemnify and hold the Tenant harmless from any third party claim or suit regarding the Limited Exclusive Use granted by Landlord.

Rent as defined above, shall include, but not be limited to, Base Rent, Additional Rent (as due), Percentage Rent (as due), Operating Expenses (including, but not limited to Taxes, Insurance, Utilities and other matters due as same), Late Charges, Interest on Rent, any other interest and any and all other charges due or which may come due under the terms of the Lease, as more fully set forth in this Article 3, and elsewhere in the Lease.

3.1 Base Rent, Additional Rent, Percentage Rent, Gross Sales, Promotional Items and Related Matters.

(a) Tenant shall pay Landlord base rent ("Base Rent") as follows:

Twenty 00/100 Dollars ($20.00 PSF) per rentable square foot of 3,000 square feet of interior space (subject to actual measurement after improvements) per year for Lease Year One (1) (the "Base Rent."). Base Rent will not be payable on the patio area. The Base Rent shall be payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments each month for Lease Year One, commencing on the Rent Commencement Date. The Base Rent shall be adjusted annually, as provided in Section 3.1(d) below, and following adjustment, Tenant shall pay the adjusted Base Rent in a like manner.

(b) Each monthly installment of Base Rent shall be payable in advance on or before the 1st day of each calendar month during the Term at such place as the Landlord shall from time to time designate. By way of example, only, Base Rent for February 2016, would be due February 1st, 2016. If this Lease commences other than on the first day of a calendar month, monthly installments of Base Rent for the first and last months of the Term shall be prorated.

(c) Tenant shall also pay as additional rent ("Additional Rent"), the amount computed by the following methodology:

The Base Rent paid or to be paid, shall be subtracted from the amount of percentage rent that would be due using a percent of Tenant's "Gross Sales" (as defined below) over the Break Point using the table found under Section 3.1 (h) ("Percentage Rent"). The "Break Point" shall be defined as the Tenant's first Eight Hundred Thousand dollars ($800,000) of Gross Sales collected in a Lease Year.

If Tenant's gross sales are at or below the Break Point, then only Base Rent is due. Tenant shall pay Base Rent monthly in advance as set-forth in Section 3.1(b). Additional Rent is payable in arrears, as it is based on

Page 7 of 37

Page 14: MATHESON LAW FIRM...LAW FIRM 200 WOODLAND PASS, SUITE F EAST LANSING, MI 48823 517-993-6699 MICHAEL F. MATHESON (ALSO LICENSED IN IL) michael@mathesonlawfirm.com March 29, 2018 55th

the previous month's actual sales that have been annualized. This Additional Rent shall be calculated and due as follows:

Each installment of Additional Rent for a month shall be payable in arrears on a monthly basis during the following natural calendar month, using Exhibit "G." Each installment of Additional Rent shall be payable with the Base Rent on or before the Fifteenth (15th) day after the close of each calendar month during the Lease Year in question. (By example, only, the Additional Rent for January 2016, would be due on February 15, 2016). (By way of clarification, Percentage Rent for the last month of the Lease will be due by the 15th of the following month, even though not Base Rent is due). Such monthly installment of Additional Rent shall be based on the Tenant's sales of the immediate preceding month, and payment shall be remitted to such place as the Landlord shall from time to time designate. If this Lease commences other than on the first day of a calendar month, monthly installments of Additional Rent for the first and last months of the Term shall be prorated. Using Exhibit "G" Tenant shall report its monthly Gross Sales to Landlord on or before the fifteenth (15th) day after the close of each calendar month during the Term. Using Exhibit "H" Tenant shall report its annual Gross Sales to Landlord on or before the fifteenth (15th) day after the close of the calendar year. Any additional amount owed to the Landlord from the previous monthly estimates using Exhibit "G" will be included with the form, while any credits to the Tenant will be deducted from the twelfth (12th) month's payment.

"Gross Sales" of Tenant is defined as the gross selling price of all food, merchandise and beverages/or services sold upon or from the Premises by Tenant, its permitted subtenants, licensees and concessionaires, whether for cash or on credit, whether collected or not, whether made by telephone, mail, the intemet or otherwise not directly in person on the Premises and whether made by store personnel. The term "Gross Sales" shall not include any sales or similar taxes, tips or gratuities given by customers to Tenant's employees, gift card sales (although redemptions of gift cards at the Premises shall be included), the cost of meals provided to Tenant's employees without charge (or if discounted, the amount of the discount), complimentary or promotional food dispensed or spills, and any amounts retained by a credit card processing company fee paid by Tenant for Tenant to provide its customers the ability to use said credit card for purchases at the Premises. All sales originating at the Premises shall be considered as made and completed from the Premises, even though bookkeeping and payment of the account may be transferred to another place for collection and even though actual filling of the sale or service order and actual delivery of the merchandise may be made from a place other than the Premises. Each installment sale or sale upon credit, including "lay away" sales, shall be treated as a sale for the full cash price at the time of sale.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Gross Sales shall not include any sales or revenue related to the development, franchising, or real estate of Tenant's business, including, but not limited to franchise fees, royalties, interest, or real estate fees collected by Tenant, Tenant's affiliates, Tenant's franchisor, or Tenant's area developer or catering sales or sales for off premises consumption unless it is greater than 2.5% of the Annual Gross Sales.

(d) Upon the first annual anniversary of the commencement of the Term, and upon each annual anniversary thereafter, the Base Rent and Percentage Rent Table gross top line sales dollar amounts shall be adjusted by multiplying the Base Rent and Percentage Rent table gross top line sales dollar amounts, in effect for the previous Lease year times 1.02 (being a two percent (2%) and adding that product to the Base Rent and Percentage Rent Table gross top line sales dollar amounts of the previous Lease year. Further, the break point in the tables shall be adjusted upward annually by two percent (2%) using the same methodology.

(e) If at the beginning of any Lease Year adjusted Base Rent shall not have been calculated, Tenant shall continue paying the Base Rent previously in effect on a timely basis. Upon notification by Landlord of the adjusted Base Rent, Tenant shall immediately pay Landlord the difference between Base Rent paid and that which would have been due had adjusted Base Rent been calculated and shall thereafter continue paying equal monthly installments of adjusted base Rent.

(f) Statement of Gross Sales. Tenant agrees to furnish or cause to be furnished to Landlord a statement of Tenant's monthly Gross Sales using Exhibit "G" on a monthly basis and Exhibit "H" Annually. Such statements shall be certified as accurate accountings of Tenant's Gross Sales from the Premises by the chief officer of Tenant. Tenant shall record at the time of each sale transaction in the presence of the customer, all receipts from sales or other transactions, whether for cash or credit, in a cash register, or in cash registers, having a cumulative total and which shall number consecutive purchases. Tenant shall keep full and accurate books of account, records, and all such cash register receipts concerning Gross Sales and net sales, credits, refunds and other transactions made from or upon the Premises (including the Gross Sales and net sales of any permitted subtenant, licensee or concessionaire). Such books, receipts and records shall be kept for a period of not less than three (3) years after the close of each calendar year and shall be available for inspection and audit by Landlord or its representatives at all times during regular business hours following reasonable advance notice. In addition, upon request of Landlord, Tenant agrees to furnish to Landlord a copy of Tenant's sales tax return. The receipt by Landlord of any statement or any payment of Additional Rent for any period shall not be binding upon Landlord as to the accuracy of such statement or payment. At any time within three (3) years of receipt of any such statement following reasonable advance notice, Landlord shall be entitled to an independent audit of such Gross Sales and net sales, to be conducted either by Landlord or an accountant to be designated by Landlord but not more often than once annually. Such audit shall be limited to items necessary to a determination of Tenant's Gross Sales and shall be conducted during normal business hours at the Premises. If it shall be determined as a result of such audit that there has been a deficiency in the payment of Additional Rent, such deficiency shall become immediately due and payable with interest at the rate of Eight percent (8%) per annum or the highest amount permitted by law, whichever is less, from the date such payment should have been made. In addition, if a Tenant's statement for any particular calendar year shall be found to have understated Gross Sales by more than three percent (3%), the Landlord is entitled to any Additional Rent as a result of such understatement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in determining and collecting the understatement or underpayment. If Tenant's statement shall be found to have understated Gross Top Line Sales by more than Ten percent (10%), such understatement shall, at Landlord's option, constitute a default under this Lease, thereby permitting Landlord, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant and an opportunity to cure. Any information gained from such statements or inspection shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed, except to carry out the purposes of this paragraph; provided, however, that Landlord shall be permitted to divulge the contents of any such statements in connection with any financing arrangements or assignments of Landlord's interest in the Premises, Project or Structure or in connection with any administrative or judicial proceeding in which Landlord is involved or where Landlord may be required to divulge such information.

(g) Tenant will provide Landlord annually twenty (20) $40 dollar gift coupons/cards ("Promotional Items"). Landlord intends to use the Promotional Items to build brand awareness of the Heights at Eastwood, Mimi's Sweet Shop, Inc. and the DDA. Annually, the Landlord will provide Tenant with an accounting of where the Promotional Items were distributed/leveraged along with a request for the next years Promotional Items. Any unused Promotional Items will be deducted from the next annual twenty (20) Promotional Items.

As a point of clarification, if Tenant's gross top line sales are less than $800,000 then only the Base Rent ($20.00 PSF (estimated at $60,000.00) in year one) is due. If the Tenant's gross top line sales are greater than $1,350,001 (in year one, or as adjusted per this Lease in following years) then the Tenant's Percentage Rent will bell % of a maximum of $1,350,000 (in year one, or as adjusted per this Lease in following years).

Tenant shall pay for any fencing, furnishing, landscaping, lighting, utilities, improvements, maintenance and permits concerning the patio space. In the event that any utilities or rubbish charges cannot be separately metered or separately contracted for by Tenant, and Landlord provides same, Landlord may allocate and recover from Tenant such charges as Operating Expenses in a commercially reasonable manner. Likewise, any such amounts which are billed by providers to Landlord for any reason (including, but not limited to, Tenant's non-payment of same and providers legal right to bill Landlord or person's through whom Landlord claims), may be billed as Operating Expenses from Landlord to Tenant.

3.4 Security Deposit.

(a) The equivalence of one month's rent (3,000 square feet x $20.00) / 12 months = $5,000) which will be credited to the first month's rent.

Lease, if any Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within five (5) days of when due, Landlord may at its discretion impose a late charge in the amount of Two Percent (2%) of such rental installment. Such Late Charge shall be due upon billing and become due as Rent. Acceptance of late charges shall constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to the overdue amount. Provided, however, that if Tenant has engaged in a habitual default, meaning untimely payment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or Percentage Rent six (6) or more times in any twelve (12) month period, Landlord may exercise its remedies for Default under this Lease, despite accepting any Late Charges.

3.6 Interest on Rent. Rent which is not paid within five (5) days of when due shall bear interest from the date due until paid at a rate equal to Eight percent (8%) per annum or the highest amount permitted by law, whichever is less.

ARTICLE 6

Alterations

6.1 Alterations by Tenant.

(a) Except as permitted by Article 5 or required by Section 8.1, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), make any alterations, improvements, additions or physical changes (hereinafter referred to as 'Alterations") to the Premises.

(b) Unless Landlord otherwise directs in writing, no Alterations made or installed by Tenant (NOT including ANY moveable equipment OR trade fixtures) shall be removed by Tenant from the Premises at the termination of this Lease. Instead, all such Alterations shall, when installed, attach to the freehold and become and remain the property of Landlord.

(c) Approved Tenant Alterations shall be subject to the provisions of Article 5 above, as if they were "Tenant's Work."

6.2 Signs. All exterior Tenant signage shall be subject to the review and approval of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Due to the unique entertainment character of the Project, there are specific expectations in place for exterior signage. All exterior signage must be installed prior to the Premises being open to public. All exterior signage shall be in compliance with any sign criteria, if any, now or hereinafter contained in the ECR, Master Deed (including any sub-master deed for the Sub-condominium, if any) and/or adopted by Landlord and/or approved by the Township of Lansing (and all other applicable governmental or quasi-governmental entities), including all amendments and modifications thereto ("Sign Criteria"). Additionally, Tenant shall not place any signs, placards, names, insignia, trademarks, or any other similar item or items outside, on or within thirty-six inches (36") of, the front lease line, or on the store front, the glass panes and supports of the show windows, or on any window, door, roof or perimeter wall of the Premises, or which is otherwise visible from the Project common areas, except such as Landlord shall approve in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall not affix any signs to the roof of the Premises. Tenant shall utilize no advertising medium (other than signage permitted or approved pursuant to the preceding sentence) within the Premises or within the Common Areas which can be heard or experienced outside the Premises. Tenant shall not display, paint or place any handbills or other advertising devices on any vehicle parked in the parking area of the Project, whether belonging to Tenant or to any other person, nor shall Tenant distribute in the Project any handbills or other advertising devices. In no event may Tenant display any banner of any size or kind outside the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord's sole discretion. Tenant may erect and maintain signs in and on the Premises as permitted by local ordinance. All Tenant signage shall be permitted, manufactured and installed at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant shall also apply for any necessary permits and procure any necessary approvals from the appropriate governmental entity, including the Township of Lansing, relative to its signage. Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have the right to install its trade logo or customary signage on any and all multi-tenant signage associated with the Project, regardless of its location being within the Project, including any and all pylon signs, pedestrian way signs, directory signs, street signs, billboards, commercial vehicles, and the like, and Tenant shall pay its proportionate share of installing and deploying such signage based on Tenant's square foot usage of such signage, and Landlord shall guaranty that Tenant's proportionate signage shall be no smaller than the largest panel or portion available or being used by any other Project tenant or other sign user. Tenant shall be allowed to install "wall" and "pedestrian blade" signage on the south and east side of Tenant's Structure, provided that Tenant pay its proportionate share of such sign usage. Tenant is specifically prohibited from installing or placing any signage for any type of liquidation sale, going out of business sale, moving sale, or anything related, as such advertisement will have a negative impact on Landlord's property. Subject to the restrictions, above, Landlord hereby gives its consent to Tenant to construct the Premises in accordance with standard decor and to erect standard signs/awnings on the Structure. Tenant's signs shall measure at least 36" high and extend the length of the fascia. The phrase "standard signs" shall be deemed to include existing pole signs, monument signs

and awnings. Additionally, Tenant may use standard neon tubing and window advertising including but not limited to neon "open" signs and static cling(s). Landlord further acknowledges and agrees that this consent is absolute and Tenant shall not be required to submit any of the aforementioned items for Landlord's review. However, Tenant agrees that any signage installed by Tenant shall conform to local codes and ordinances. In the event Tenant shall be prohibited from utilizing the standard decor and signage, Landlord and Tenant shall use best efforts to obtain a variance or applicable approvals.

6.3 Additional Construction by Landlord. Landlord reserves the right at any time to make alterations, expansions or additions to the Project, so long as they do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's business. No changes or additions by the Landlord will inhibit access to or visibility of the Premises or decrease parking ratio. Tenant is allowed, at its cost, to prune, cut back or replant with slim trees all trees surrounding the exterior of the Premises subsequent to receiving written permission from the Landlord.

6.4 Access and Road Alterations. If Tenant's operation or use is at any time impaired or affected by the closing, relocation, alteration or improvement of any street abutting the Premises, Tenant may, at its option, either terminate this Lease, or reduce the rent payable by fifty percent (50%) during the period of such closing, relocation, alteration or improvement. Either of these options may be implemented upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Landlord.

In this regard, Tenant shall have at least semi-annual inspections and maintenance performed on the heating and air conditioning units. Evidence of said inspections and maintenance will be documented and kept on file by Tenant for Landlord's review with a 30 days written notice for evidence of the same.

7.2 Structural Repairs. Landlord shall at its expense (or, in the event of any Sub-condominium, procure that it shall at its or the Sub-condominium's expense) keep the foundation, roof (except for roof penetrations caused by Tenant's Work), exterior walls and all load-bearing portions of the Structure in good repair throughout the Term. However, Landlord may recover from Tenant the cost of any such repairs occasioned by the tortious acts or negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, guests or licensees, except to the extent that Landlord is reimbursed therefor under any policy of insurance. Landlord shall be neither liable nor responsible for any loss that may accrue to Tenant or Tenant's business by reason of Landlord's actions in fulfilling its obligations hereunder. Landlord shall not be required to make any other improvements or repairs of any kind upon the Premises.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Subsection 9.1(b) below, if the Premises shall be rendered untenable by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall (to the extent of available insurance proceeds and to the extent not prohibited by law from doing so) restore the Premises (excluding Tenant's trade fixtures and improvements) and make them tenable as soon as possible. Except in the case of damage caused by Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, guests or licensees, Rent shall abate during the period of untenability in proportion to the area of the Premises rendered untenable. All such restoration shall be completed within 180 days of the Premises being rendered untenable or Tenant shall, as its sole remedy, be entitled to terminate this Lease.

Rent shall be prorated to the date of such casualty.

(c) Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of the occurrence of a fire or other casualty at the Premises and shall at its expense restore or replace its personal property, fixtures and tenant improvements. There shall be no abatement of Rent during any delay caused by the failure of Tenant to complete its restoration and repair work.

If the whole or a substantial part of the Premises shall be taken by any lawful authority under the power of eminent domain, then this Lease shall thereupon terminate and Tenant shall be liable for Rent only up to the date of such termination. In the event of the condemnation of the Premises, Tenant is entitled to participate in any and all awards for such taking to the extent that any such award includes the loss, if any, sustained by Tenant as a result of the termination of this Lease for loss of business, fixtures, goodwill, moving expenses and attorneys' fees and costs, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

or licensees, of any covenant or condition of this Lease, or (iii) the carelessness, negligence or improper conduct of the Tenant, any subtenant, or any of their contractors, employees, customers, invitees, or licensees. If any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon written notice from Landlord, shall, at Tenant's expense, resist or defend such action or proceeding by counsel approved by Landlord in writing. Similarly, Landlord shall defend and indemnify Tenant against and hold it harmless from any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, paid or incurred as a result of or in connection with (i) Landlord's use or occupancy of the Structure, Property, and Premises, (ii) any breach by Landlord, its tenants or subtenants, or any of their agents, contractors, employees, customers, invitees, or licensees, of any covenant or condition of this Lease, or (iii) the carelessness, negligence or improper conduct of the Landlord, any subtenant, or any of their contractors, employees, customers, invitees, or licensees. If any action or proceeding is brought against Tenant by reason of any such claim, Landlord, upon written notice from Tenant, shall, at Landlord's expense, resist or defend such action or proceeding by counsel approved by Tenant in writing.

(b) Tenant shall bring or keep property upon the Premises solely at its own risk, and Landlord shall not under any circumstances be liable for any damages thereto or any destruction or theft thereof. Tenant shall maintain a policy of insurance against risk of loss from any cause whatsoever to all such property, and, in addition, all plate glass upon or appurtenant to the Premises, to the full extent of their replacement cost, which policy of insurance shall contain a clause or endorsement under which the insurer waives, or permits the waiver by Tenant of, all right of subrogation against Landlord, and its agents, employees, customers, invitees, guests, or licensees, with respect to losses payable under such policy. Tenant hereby waives all right of recovery which it might otherwise have against Landlord, and its agents, employees, customers, invitees, guests, or licensees, for any damage to Tenant's property which is (or by the terms of this Lease is required to be) covered by a policy of insurance, notwithstanding that such damage may result from the negligence or fault of Landlord, or its agents, employees, customers, invitees, guests, or licensees. Any deductible amount included in such policy shall be treated as though it were recoverable under the policy.

9.4 Insurance. By this Section, and by the applicable portions of Section 9.3 above, Landlord and Tenant intend that the risk of loss or damages as described shall be borne by responsible insurance carriers to the extent provided.

(a) Landlord shall insure the Project against loss or damage under a policy or policies of casualty insurance. Such policies shall include a waiver of subrogation clause or endorsement similar to that required of Tenant in Section 9.3(b) above.

(b) Tenant shall maintain workers' compensation insurance covering all of its employees to at least the statutory limit set forth under Michigan law, and a policy of commercial public liability insurance in an amount at least equal to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) single limit coverage per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) in the aggregate, for property damage, bodily injury or death. Such policy of general public liability insurance shall name Landlord, Landlord's mortgagee or beneficiary and Landlord's managing agent as additional insured and shall be underwritten by a carrier and on such other terms and conditions as Landlord shall approve. It shall provide by endorsement or otherwise that such insurance may not be canceled, terminated, amended, or modified for any reason whatsoever, except upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord. Prior to the time such workers' compensation and general public liability insurance is first required to be carried by Tenant, and thereafter at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of any such policy, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord either duplicate originals of the aforesaid policies or a certificate evidencing such insurance coverage, together with evidence of payment for the policies. If a certificate is provided, it shall contain a statement substantially in the form of the immediately preceding sentence. Furthermore, Tenant shall obtain: (i) Business interruption or loss of income insurance in amounts sufficient to cover Tenant's actual projected income, subject to a non-reducible limit equal to at least the Base Rent and all Additional Rent due under the Lease for a period of not less than three (3) months. Such policy, or policies, of insurance as Tenant shall provide to comply with this provision shall be endorsed to

Page 19 of 37

Page 26: MATHESON LAW FIRM...LAW FIRM 200 WOODLAND PASS, SUITE F EAST LANSING, MI 48823 517-993-6699 MICHAEL F. MATHESON (ALSO LICENSED IN IL) michael@mathesonlawfirm.com March 29, 2018 55th

expressly reflect that Landlord shall be a beneficial loss payee, as its interests may appear; (ii) Any insurance policies designated necessary by Landlord with regard to Tenant's, or Tenant's contractors', construction of Tenant's Work, as well as with regard to the construction of Alterations including, but not limited to, contingent liability and "all risks" builders' risk insurance shall be carried in amounts and on forms and with carriers acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall not commence construction of any type without prior approval of such coverage and carriers and the Tenant's delivery to Landlord of proof of coverage and endorsement of such policies as to the beneficial interest of the Landlord as loss payee, as its interests may appear. All such other coverage, as the Landlord may carry in response to any and all other provisions of this policy shall be properly endorsed by providing carriers, acknowledging their consent to such additional risks as may be inherent in such construction operations. If Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee or beneficiary deems it necessary to increase the amounts or limits of insurance required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may reasonably increase such amounts or limits, and Tenant shall so increase the amounts or limits of the insurance required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease and shall provide Landlord with policies or certificates indicating the increased amounts or limits as provided in this Section.

(c) Tenant agrees that it will not at any time during the Term or any Renewal Term carry any stock of goods or do anything in or about the Premises which will tend to increase the insurance rates upon the Structure or the Project. Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord upon demand the amount of any increase in premiums for insurance against loss by fire or any other peril normally covered by fire and extended coverage insurance that may be charged during the Term or any Renewal Term on the amount of insurance to be carried by Landlord on the Structure resulting from the foregoing or from Tenant's doing any act in or about the Premises which does so increase the insurance rates, whether or not Landlord shall have consented to such act on the part of Tenant. If Tenant installs upon the Premises any electrical equipment which constitutes an overload on the electrical lines of the Premises, Tenant shall, at its own expense, make whatever changes or provide whatever equipment safeguards are necessary to comply with the requirements of the insurance underwriters and any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Premises, but nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed to constitute Landlord's consent to such overloading.

(d) Neither Landlord nor any of Landlord's agents or lenders make any representation that the types of insurance and limits specified to be carried by Tenant under this Lease are adequate to protect Tenant. If Tenant believes that any such insurance coverage is insufficient, Tenant shall provide, at its own expense, such additional insurance as Tenant deems adequate. Nothing contained in this Section shall limit Tenant's liability under this Lease.

ARTICLE 10

Default and Remedies; Termination and Surrender

10.1 Landlord's & Tenant's Remedies. In the event of any default by Landlord in the performance of any promise or obligation to be kept or performed hereunder and the default continues for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of a written notice from Tenant specifying the default, provided, however, if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion, in such event Tenant, Tenant's remedies shall be limited to an action at law for monetary damages. In no event shall Landlord be liable for incidental or consequential damages or Tenant's lost profits resulting from Landlord's default. In the event Landlord unreasonably delays remedy of its default, Tenant, at its election, can declare this Lease terminated and void and vacate the Premises within an additional period of thirty (30) days, paying rent only to the date of said vacating. Landlord agrees to notify Tenant in writing in accordance with this Lease of any back charges due under this agreement or of any changes in the Rent, including, but not limited to Base Rent, Percentage Rent or Additional Rent, as and when they become due. All parties agree and acknowledge that time is of the essence with respect to these matters. In the event that Landlord does not appropriately notify Tenant within one hundred twenty 120) days of the date upon which said charges had become due, Landlord agrees that it has waived its rights to said back charges and further, that Tenant shall not be obligated to pay, nor shall it have any liability for these back charges. It is agreed that it is the intent of the parties that all charges be assessed in a timely manner as they accrue and in no event shall they be assessed to Tenant after this one hundred twenty 120) day period.

Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that it is extremely important that Rent be paid in a timely manner as required by this Lease. If Tenant shall fail to make any payment of any Rent due hereunder within five (5) days of its due date, or if Tenant shall fail to perform any of the other covenants or conditions which Tenant is required to observe and perform under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days following written notice of such failure (or such shorter period of time as may be appropriate in exigent circumstances), or if Tenant fails to make any other payment due to Landlord under this Lease or any other agreement within thirty (30) days of its due date, or if Tenant shall abandon or vacate the Premises during the Term of this Lease for a period longer than thirty (30) days (provided that this shall not include any period of remodeling or alteration, if approved by Landlord and pursued with commercially diligence) , or if Tenant shall dissolve, die, become legally incompetent, then Landlord may, but need not, treat the occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing events as a default under this Lease, and thereupon may, at its option, by providing ten (10) days written notice to Tenant, execute any one of the following-described remedies in addition to all other rights and remedies provided at law or in equity:

(a) Terminate this Lease, and repossess the Premises in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2 hereof, and be entitled to recover, as liquidated agreed final damages, in lieu of any further deficiencies, the immediate succeeding twelve (12) month's Base Rent due to be paid by Tenant during the balance of the current Term of this Lease (not including any Rent due under outstanding Renewal Terms.)

(b) Terminate Tenant's right of possession and repossess the Premises without further demand or notice of any kind to Tenant other than in a district court sum mary proceeding action and without terminating this Lease, in which case Landlord may, but need not, relet all or any part of the Premises for such rent and upon such commercially reasonable terms as shall be satisfactory to Landlord. For the purposes of such reletting, Landlord may make such repairs, alterations, additions, or physical changes in or to the Premises as may be necessary or convenient. If the Premises are relet and a sufficient sum shall not be realized from the reletting, after payment of all costs and expenses of such repairs, alterations, additions, or physical changes and the expense of such reletting and the collection of rent occurring therefrom, to satisfy the Rent herein provided to be paid during the remainder of the Term or any active and current Renewal Term, Tenant shall satisfy and pay any such deficiency upon demand, not to exceed the equivalent of the immediately succeeding twelve (12) month's Base Rent due to be paid by Tenant during the balance of the

Page 21 of 37

Page 28: MATHESON LAW FIRM...LAW FIRM 200 WOODLAND PASS, SUITE F EAST LANSING, MI 48823 517-993-6699 MICHAEL F. MATHESON (ALSO LICENSED IN IL) michael@mathesonlawfirm.com March 29, 2018 55th

current Term of this Lease (not including any Rent due under outstanding Renewal Terms.). Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due under the terms of this paragraph from time to time and that any suit or recovery of any portion due Landlord hereunder shall be no defense to any subsequent action brought for any amount not theretofore reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord.

For good and valuable consideration, Landlord agrees to the following provision: In the event of a default by the Tenant, Landlord acknowledges an affirmative duty to mitigate damages and shall in no event accelerate Rent due to the remainder of the Term or any Renewal Term. Further, Landlord and Tenant agree that Tenant's liability upon default shall not exceed twelve (12) month's Base Rent or the remainder due pursuant to this Lease (not including any Rent due under outstanding Renewal Terms), whichever is less. Upon the termination of this Lease, whether in accordance with this Section or otherwise, Tenant shall be permitted access to the Premises to remove any and all logo or trademark items. Such items shall include, but shall not be limited to, signage and murals.

10.2 Termination; Surrender of Possession.

(a) Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, whether by lapse of time, operation of law or pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall:

(i) Restore the Premises to their condition at the beginning of the Term (other than as contemplated by Section 7.1 above and the balance of this section, below), ordinary wear and tear excepted, remove all of its personal property and trade fixtures from the Premises and the Project and repair any damage caused by such removal, at Tenant's sole cost and expense. All alterations and fixtures including, without limitation, those in the nature of ventilating, air conditioning, unmovable refrigeration, unmovable cooking equipment, plumbing, sprinkling systems, outlets, partitions, doors, vaults, paneling, molding or flooring shall be surrendered with the Premises and Tenant shall not remove them.

(ii) Surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord; and

(iii) At Tenant's cost and expense, remove from the exterior and interior of the Premises and the Structure all (A) signs, symbols and trademarks which are connected with or associated specifically with Tenant's business and repair any damages to the Structure or the Premises caused by such removal, (b) refuse, trash and scrap materials, and (c) any and all personal property of Tenant.

(b) If Tenant shall fail or refuse to restore the Premises as hereinabove provided, Landlord may do so and recover its costs from Tenant for so doing. If Tenant shall fail or refuse to comply with Tenant's duty to remove all personal property and trade fixtures from the Premises upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, the parties hereto agree and stipulate that Landlord may, at its election: (i) treat such failure or refusal as an offer by Tenant to transfer title to such property to Landlord, in which event the title thereto shall thereupon pass under this Lease as a bill of sale; or (ii) treat such failure or refusal as conclusive evidence, on which Landlord shall be entitled to rely absolutely, that Tenant has forever abandoned such property. In either event, Landlord may, with or without accepting title thereto, keep or remove, store, destroy, discard, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such property in any manner that Landlord shall choose without incurring liability to Tenant or to any other person or entity. In no event shall Landlord ever become or be charged with the duties of a bailee of any property of Tenant.

Tenant shall, however, pay Landlord, as liquidated damages, one hundred ten percent (150%) of the amount of Rent, which would have been due for a like period of occupancy during the Term hereof.

Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the Premises at all reasonable business hours for the purpose of inspecting them, preventing waste, loss or destruction, enforcing any of its rights or powers under this Lease, or making such repairs or alterations as it is obligated to make under the terms of this Lease or which Landlord may elect to perform, following Tenant's failure to do so.
